Cranberry Sauce Muffins

By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup leftover cranberry sauce

Preparation

Step 1

1 Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 18 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.

2 In large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt with whisk. Make well in center of dry ingredients. Add milk, oil, vanilla and egg; stir until combined (batter will be thick). Stir in cranberry sauce.

3 Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about three-fourths full.

4 Bake about 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool slightly before serving.

For a more festive appearance, use brioche molds (as shown in photo). To bump up the flavor even more, you can add grated orange peel.
